Noel Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Very interesting video. Different times. Hardly a hi-vis jacket nor a hard hat in sight, folk walking under unsecured jacks, etc. But one heck of a logistical achievement getting 201 onto Irish Rails via air and road. Shame 201 is rotting away prematurely in a siding at Inchicore along with other 201s that never achieved their targeted service lives. Capital assets that certainly were not 'sweated' along with mk3s, unlike the 071s still in service today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
